Human Resource Management

Description

This course provides an introduction to human resource management (HRM), and to frameworks explaining the core functions of HRM i.e. planning, recruitment, development, reward, voice and exit. In particular, students will consider how responsibility for people management is distributed inside and outside the organisation. The course takes a very practical view of HRM, using many examples, exercises, and cases. Students are encouraged to think about what HRM means - how it differs according to the nature of work, by organisation, by industry sector, and in different regions and countries - and to consider what constitutes ethical human resource management.
